Running Bumpy's Arcade Fantasy IPF

ldaneels · 31 March 2015, 23:00

So it seems I am having a hard time getting games to run lately...
This one loads, but the screen turns black & then nothing. I am starting to feel cursed... Which is weird since I got over 300 IPF to run without a problem before.
I used all sorts of A500 configurations, but I can't get to the game.
Any ideas ?

Which WinUAE version, IPF library version? I've tried the latest beta with a Amiga 500 quickstart config, no problems at all.

I use the latest versions for each.
after further testing, the first time I launch the game I get the black screen, but if I reset (without changing the settings), it loads fine. Actually, that is beyond weird...
Anyone understands what is going on ?

Could be due to memory issue and something caching in RAM?

The ADF runs fine on an Emulated 500+

Always use default configurations and work your way up starting with A500. most games, run on 1mb chip + ocs/ecs (unless AGA a1200 games) so there's no point trying different variations.

If a game is not loading I always try cycle exact, usually works.

edit: Just tried BumpysArcadeFantasy_1604 with A500 default with CE. Works O.K

I got it to run, but the problem is that it works erratically. Without changing anything, it sometimes load, sometimes doesn't...

Maybe somethings corrupted in your WinUAE Install? Try re scanning the roms or maybe uninstall and re-install WinUAE.

Have you copied over the latest Qemu.dll. capsimage.dll lately?

Are the ipf files good? Can you find adf's and try them?
